Film
Sleep showed great acrobatic and physical dexterity in the cameo role of a roof- and wall-climbing prisoner, known as 'Clean Willy' in the 1979 Michael Crichton film The First Great Train Robbery, alongside Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland. In it, he climbs a sheer granite prison wall and along a railway station's roof as part of a storyline about stealing a key from a guarded office.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
—British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
—Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
